- The 'source' of a bind mount can either be a file or a directory. - The 'type' field is a dummy in case of bind mounts, often left to "none" (in that case it does not have to be something listed in /proc/filesystems). - 'Relative' paths can only be used for bind mounts, not for other mounts. That's how runc manages this. Replaces: opencontainers#967 Signed-off-by: Alban Crequy <[email protected]>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Do we need to recomment none? Why not just leave this OPTIONAL property unset in that case?

I feel "none" accomplishes that and is the current de facto on linux

For POSIX platforms the `mounts` structure has the following fields:
* **`type`** (string, OPTIONAL) The type of the filesystem to be
mounted.
- * Linux: filesystem types supported by the kernel as listed in
*/proc/filesystems* (e.g., "minix", "ext2", "ext3", "jfs", "xfs",
"reiserfs", "msdos", "proc", "nfs", "iso9660").

Do we need to recomment none? Why not just leave this OPTIONAL
property unset in that case?

The 'source' of a bind mount can either be a file or a directory.
The 'type' field is a dummy in case of bind mounts, often left to
"none" (in that case it does not have to be something listed in
/proc/filesystems).
'Relative' paths can only be used for bind mounts, not for other
mounts. That's how runc manages this.
